I have a German bisque doll from around 1890 with a repaired finger that was clearly done with superglue decades ago. I mean, the repair is sloppy, there's visible glue residue, and the finger alignment is slightly off. I want to redo the repair properly but I'm not sure how to safely remove superglue from bisque without damaging the porcelain or the original finish. I've read about acetone but I'm worried it might affect the paint or cause other issues
Has anyone successfully removed old adhesive from antique bisque? and what method did you use? on second thoughts, should I just leave it and work around the existing repair, or is it worth the risk to try and remove it?
The doll is otherwise in excellent condition and I'd hate to make things worse, but this repair really detracts from her appearance
